Answer:

A. All organisms have a common biochemical evolutionary origin.

Explanation:

Genetic code is the biological mechanism by which the DNA in our body is used to synthesize protein needed for growth and development. The genetic code comprises of all the possible 64 codons i.e. a group of three nucleotides that encode an amino acid.

One of the characteristics of the genetic code is that it is UNIVERSAL. This means that all known living organisms make use of the same genetic code and hence, this portrays that all living organisms share a common biochemical evolutionary origin.

1. What is the total magnification of an object if the ocular lens magnification is 20x and the objective lens magnification is

V125BC [204]

1. Answer: 900x

A typical microscope has two lens: ocular lens which located near the eye, and objective lens which located near the object. The image will undergo magnification of both lens. The total magnification of the object would be the product of both lens multiplication, not the sum. The multiplication will be: 20x * 45x= 900x

total mag= ocular * object

total mag= 20x * 45x

total mag= 900x

2. Answer: 100x

The total magnification of the object would be the product of both lens multiplication. If the total magnification 1000x, that mean it was the product of ocular lens and objective lens. If ocular lens magnification is 10x, objective lens magnification would be:

total mag= ocular * object

1000x= 10x*object

object=1000x/ 10x=

object=100x

3. Answer: 0.2 mm

The area of the microscope that can be viewed by the eye should be the same. But since the magnification is different, the actual area that it represent will be different. Microscope with bigger magnification will have smaller diameter of the field of view(DFV). Remember that micrometer(μm) is 1/1000 of millimeter(mm). The DFV would be:500 μm/ ( 1000x/400x)= 200μm= 0.2 mm

4. Answer: 750μm

This question is similar to number 3 question. Remember that 1 millimeter(mm) equal to 1000 micrometer(μm) .

The DFV of a 10x objective lens is 3 mm. Then the DFV of 40x lens would be:

DFV2= DFV1/ (mag1/mag2)

DFV2= 3mm/ ( 40x/10x)= 0.75 mm= 750μm

5. Answer: 125μm x 37.5μm

The lens DFV of microscope from question 4 is 750μm, so the width and length of the area would be 750μm.

If 6 organisms could fit across the DFV if they were laid end-to-end, the length would be: 750μm/ 6 organism= 125μm

If 20 organism could fit is stacked side by-side, then the width would be: 750μm/ 20 organism= 37.5μm

6. Answer: 6mm

This question is similar to number 3 and number 4 question. Remember that 1 millimeter(mm) equal to 1000 micrometer(μm).

The DFV of a 100x objective lens is 1.5 mm. Then the DFV of 25x lens would be:

DFV2= DFV1/ (mag1/mag2)

DFV2= 1.5mm/ (100x/25x)= 6 mm

7.Using the 100x objective lens from question 6, you estimate 12 organisms could fit across the DFV if they were laid end-to-end and 30 could fit is stacked side-by-side. What is the length and width of this organism (in microns)?

Answer: 0.5mm x 0.2mm or 500μm x 200μm

The lens DFV of microscope from question 6 is 6 mm, so the width and length of the area would be 6 mm.

If 12 organisms could fit across the DFV if they were laid end-to-end, the length would be: 6mm/ 12 organism=0.5mm

If 30 organism could fit is stacked side by-side, then the width would be: 6mm/ 30 organism= 0.2mm

-BARSIC- [3]

<h2>CRISPR/Cas9</h2>

Explanation:

CRISPR can be used to reintroduce dystrophin back into the KO mouse

CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and is used to for gene editing
CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome editing has been shown to permanently correct DMD mutations and restore dystrophin function in mouse models
Germline editing by injecting zygotes with CRISPR/Cas9 editing component was first done in mdx mice by correcting the mutated exon 23
Postnatal editing of mdx mice was then achieved using recombinant adeno-associated virus to deliver CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing components and correct the dystrophin gene by skipping or deleting the mutated exon 23 in vivo
Germline and postnatal CRISPR/Cas9 editing approaches both successfully restored dystrophin function in the mice and same technique can be used for KO mouse model

Feliz [49]

Transport of a substance from the lumen (cavity) of an organ into one side of a cell and out the other side of the cell into the extracellular fluid is called <u>transcellular transport</u>.

The two routes of transport of substances across the epithelium of the gut are by transcellular method and paracellular method.

Transcellular transport refers to the transport of solutes across a epithelial cell layer through the cells. The best example is the movement of glucose from the intestinal lumen to the extracellular fluid by the epithelial cells. The epithelial cells use the active transport to generate the transcellular transport. Active transport refers to the transport of substances from a region of its lower concentration to a region of its higher concentration against the concentration gradient using cellular energy.
